How hot should an i7-6700k run?

The i7-6700k doesn’t even begin to throttle until 100°C. Anything below 70°C under full load on all cores is acceptable as being pretty safe and anything under 80°C, while not desirable, is probably not going to cause damage as it would never see those temps under normal usage.

Is 85 degrees Celsius hot for a CPU while gaming?

Laptop CPU’s have a much higher thermal limit over there desktop counterparts, 85C is warm but safe to game.

Is 85 degrees too hot for PC?

85 is OK – it’s within the usual operating range of most computers. However, you will have a somewhat shortened service life especially if you have something CPU hungry to do, like Bitcoin mining. The best way to improve computer cooling in a hot, dry room is to add water vapour.

Is CPU at 85 degrees bad?

The Quick Answer – Are Your CPU Temps too High? If you have an AMD Ryzen processor, you could say that a CPU core temperature of over 40-45-degrees Celsius while idling and/or a temperature of over 85-95 degrees (depending on the Ryzen generation) Celsius while under full load is probably be cause for concern.

Does anyone have experience with the i7-6700k and the h100i?

I was having a similar experience with my i7-6700K and the H100i AIO water cooler. I used the Intel diagnostic tool to run stress tests on the CPU. It’s a good tool to make sure tests the features of the chip. It’ll even perform a load test while checking to make sure the chip is running within acceptable temperatures.

Is it safe to run a 6700K at this temperature?

It is considered safe but that is not normal to have a 6700k at that temperature. I recommend ether replacing the thermal paste or/and getting a new cooler.
